Stripping back unnecessary packaging and misleading ingredients, The Ordinary offers an abundance of brilliant, high-performance products at eye-wideningly reasonable prices – and their Squalane Cleanser is no exception! Carefully formulated for all skin types, this clever potion dissolves make up and the day's dirt while simultaneously moisturising with a combination of squalane and other lipophilic esters.
This gentle cleanser is anything but ordinary, removing make up and impurities as it retains your skin's moisture – unlike some harsher cleansers, there's no need to worry about tightness after using this. Star of the show is squalane, a first-class hydrator that's found naturally in the skin, helping to prevent loss of moisture and boost suppleness. This combines with other lipophilic esters to dissolve make up and unwanted grime for clean and clog-free pores. The hard-working formula feels balm-like when first applied, changing to a clear oil-like texture when warmed into your skin – an important feat that allows emulsifying sucrose esters to capture the dissolved make up and dirt and rinse them away. Free from soap, which can cause irritation or 'strip' the skin, this crowd-pleasing cleanser respects your complexion's natural epidermal lipids, making it suitable for all skin types – even sensitive ones.

Nice
Good basic. I did like it but prefer Inkey List Oat Cleaning Balm for budget cleanser. I found the first few usages great but after that I wasn't feeling my skin was refreshed enough - could just be the ingredients a little too much for my skin type which does have open pores. I felt I wasn't getting all the product off. Shame as there were elements I liked, the price and texture and it wasn't drying (at 53 I'm getting dry patches due to perimenopause and thought I'd try a cleanser to help combat this). If you have dry skin you'll like this, but I'd avoid of you have breakout prone skin - there are other better cleansers to use. Sadly won't repurchase this.

Classic
This is a solid, classic basic. I think I prefer The Inkey List's Oat Cleansing Balm, but it does remove makeup well. I think squalane is not a favourite ingredient for my skin type, I can be prone to clogged pores.

Multiple repurchase
Not even sure how many times I have repurchased this cleanser! Removes dirt and makeup easily while leaving the skin hydrated and soft. Such a great cleanser for such a good price point, the best budget cleanser there is!

Not my favourite
This was not my fave cleanser. It wasn’t bad or anything but it was just meh for me. And if it’s the same for you too, maybe try The Inky List oat cleanser.

Very gentle
This is a lovely gentle cleanser that's really kind to sensitive skin, sometimes I need something a bit stronger though. This doesn't really remove make up that well, it's best used for a second cleanse.

Basic but good! Feels like on the skin and doesn’t leave you feeling dry. Great if you are sensitive

On par with others
This is cheap and pleasant to use. On par with more expensive ones, but it does go by fast :)
